I posted a few weeks ago to let you all know that my letter-writing to schools in my area had really paid of cos I'd got several xmas fairs booked from it. Well since then I've actually ended up with 7 booked in and had to turn 3 away cos they clashed with other dates!!
Did the first one yesterday though, so was a bit apprehensive and unsure about what to expect. It was a really long day as it was from 10 till 3, had to get my mum to come and pick up my kids cos they were bored rigid by 12 lol!! I ended up making £30 on the nail art and my sister made £25 on the face painting and we donated £10 to the school. Even though it only worked out at £5 per hour for the work we really enjoyed ourselves and all the parents thought the nail art idea was fab cos it offered something 'different'.
All in all a good day and I feel alot more confident about the other fairs still to do - also one lady took a leaflet about my kids nail parties and said she'd tell her friends about me as well!
